Does this sound like your situation?

This is for you when…

  1. Numbers are used out of habit, without understanding the process they describe.
  2. You hand over a task without first clarifying how you will assess the work.
  3. A single metric is no longer enough to make a decision.
Why watch

What will become clearer

  1. How understanding the subject affects the choice of metrics and parameters.
  2. Why you need to discuss the basis for assessment in advance with those doing the work.
  3. Why the author connects management decisions with a broader perception.
From watching to applying

What to do after the lesson

01
Choose a metric you regularly rely on.
02
Look at what you understand about how it is constructed and what you do not yet know.
03
Discuss with the person carrying out the task which parameters you will use to make a decision.
A question about your own situation

Do I understand what is happening, or do I only see a number?

The questions and actions after watching were suggested by the catalog’s editors. They are neither quotations nor the author’s original assignments.

An important distinction

A meaning to preserve

The meeting does not prescribe a mandatory set of metrics. It focuses on the ability to understand and choose a basis for decisions, rather than the number of figures in a report.

Check your expectations before choosing

What you should know

Not a mandatory set of metrics for every company or a promise of guaranteed scaling.

Follow the connections

What it connects with

Editorial connections between ideas: where to turn for another perspective. These are not required prerequisites.
